Everything about Korean Attack Submarine Program totally explained
The
KSS (meaning Korean Submarine)
program is a three-phased project to build up the
Republic of Korea Navy (ROK Navy)'s
submarine arsenal. Before the KSS program, the submarine fleet of the ROK Navy consisted of
midget submarines, such as the
Dolgorae class submarine and
SX 756 Dolphin class submarine, which had limited capabilities for inshore operations. The KSS program sought to acquire submarines that can deter hostile submarines and surface ships; protect friendly naval bases and sea shores communications; carry out reconnaissance missions.
Through the first phase,
KSS-I, the ROK Navy acquired nine 1,200-ton
Chang Bo-go class submarines. For the second phase,
KSS-II, the ROK Navy plans to acquire nine 1,800-ton
Type 214 submarines with Air-Independent propulsion (AIP) system; the lead ship of her class, ROKS
Sohn Won-il (SS 072) was launched at a shipyard of Hyundai Heavy Industries on June 9, 2006. The third phase of the program,
KSS-III is scheduled to begin in 2007 and to build the lead ship of her class in 2017. A total of nine 3,000-ton
KSS-III submarines are expected to be built in South Korea with indigenous technologies (for example not going under license as the previous
KSS-I and
KSS-II submarines).
